Welcome to Project Noah, ColeHad! This lovely little insect looks like a type of Planthopper. If I had to guess, I would say it's an Acanaloniid Planthopper, Genus Acanalonia. Here is a link that might help you figure out which one it is: http://bugguide.net/node/view/15668/bgpage If you are still unsure which species this is, but feel that the Genus is correct, you can put the genus name with sp. after it (Acanalonia sp.). Hope this helps!
